Em Um rio chamado Atlântico estão presentes as mesmas qualidades encontradas em dois outros livros de Alberto da Costa e Silva, que se tornaram clássicos de leitura obrigatória: A enxada e a lança e A manilha e o libambo. Qualidades, por sinal, que explicam por que um crítico exigente como Wilson Martins considera o autor "o maior africanólogo em língua portuguesa". Nestes 16 textos sobre as relações históricas entre o Brasil e a África e sobre a África que moldou o Brasil e o Brasil que ficou na África, o pesquisador cuidadoso e o analista percuciente e instigante não se desatam um só momento do poeta. Se é o poeta quem anda pelas ruas dos bairros brasileiros de Lagos e Ajudá, quem desenha as fachadas das casas térreas e dos sobrados neles construídos pelos ex-escravos retornados do Brasil e quem traz das páginas dos documentos e dos livros as personagens com que se povoam estes ensaios, é o historiador quem lhe guia cuidadosamente os passos e recupera, para pô-los em primeiro plano, situações, enredos e episódios que tinham saído, ou quase, de nossa memória.

AUTOR VENCEDOR DO PRÊMIO CAMÕES 2014! Em 'Francisco Félix de Souza, mercador de escravos', Alberto da Costa e Silva dá vida à história de um dos mais importantes traficantes de escravos do século XIX, um baiano que, tendo chegado à África sem um tostão, em pouco tempo tornou-se um poderoso chefe africano e um dos maiores mercadores de escravos. Mestre de um comércio fundado na violência e na crueldade, era tido, até mesmo por seus adversários, como um homem generoso e desprendido, padrinho, líder e protetor dos ex-escravos retornados do Brasil e que se instalaram na costa africana. Mais que uma história de um homem que virou mito, Alberto da Costa e Silva traça um retrato fascinante da África do século XIX. Estoques

Um dos mais respeitados intelectuais brasileiros, o historiador, poeta e acadêmico Alberto da Costa e Silva é especialista na história e na cultura da África. Autor e organizador de diversos livros sobre esses temas, em Imagens da África Costa e Silva reúne textos de mais de oitenta autores sobre o continente e suas numerosas civilizações. De Heródoto (séc. V a. C. ) aos prepotentes funcionários do Império Britânico (século XIX), o autor de Um rio chamado Atlântico (2003) seleciona passagens marcantes da impressionante bibliografia pesquisada ao longo de mais de sessenta anos de estudos. O volume traz, ainda, preciosas imagens e desenhos das épocas tratadas. Como afirma Costa e Silva na introdução ao volume, os africanos nem sempre foram vítimas dos estereótipos racistas que, desde a expansão imperialista das potências europeias, a partir do século XV, continuam a prejudicar a compreensão de sua imensa diversidade cultural. Apesar da curiosa persistência de elementos lendários, os registros acumulados por chineses e árabes ao longo dos séculos - e mesmo por cronistas ocidentais simpáticos à causa antiescravista - reverenciam as complexas formas de organização familiar e política dos nativos; seus elaborados costumes religiosos; suas engenhosas produções artísticas, além da bravura militar de seus combatentes. Um vislumbre da inestimável riqueza humana dizimada pelos horrores da escravidão transparece nos relatos de mercadores, exploradores e missionários que constituíam as principais fontes das representações da África até o século XIX.

Winner of the Casa de las América Prize for Brazilian Literature, The Story of Rufino reconstructs the lively biography of Rufino José Maria, set against the historical context of Brazil and Africa in the nineteenth century. The book tells the story of Rufino or Abuncare, a Yoruba Muslim from the kingdom of Oyo, in present-day Nigeria. Enslaved as an adolescent by a rival ethnic group, he was captured by Brazilian slave traders and taken to Brazil as a slave sometime in the early 1820s. In 1835, after being enslaved in Salvador and Rio Grande do Sul, Rufino bought his freedom with money he made as a hired-out slave and perhaps from making Islamic amulets. He found work in Rio de Janeiro as a cook on a slave ship bound for Luanda in Angola, despite the trans-Atlantic slave trade having been illegal in Brazil since 1831. Rufino himself became a petty slave trader. He made a few voyages before his ship was captured by the British and taken to Sierra Leone in 1841 for trial by the Anglo-Brazilian Mixed Commission to determine if it was equipped for the slave trade, since there were no slaves on board. During the three months awaiting the court's decision, Rufino lived among Yoruba Muslims, his people, and attended Quranic and Arabic classes. He later returned to Sierra Leone as a witness in a court case and attended classes with Muslim masters for almost two years. Once back in Brazil, he established himself as a diviner -- serving whites and blacks, free and slaves, Brazilians and Africans, Muslim and non-Muslims -- as well as a spiritual leader, an Alufa, in the local Afro-Muslim community. In 1853 Rufino was arrested due to rumors of an imminent African slave revolt. The police used as evidence for his arrest the large number of Arabic manuscripts in his possession, the same kind of material the police had found with Muslim rebels in Bahia thirty years earlier. During his interrogation, Rufino told his life story, which is used to reconstruct the world in which he lived under slavery and in freedom on African shores, aboard slave ships, and in Brazil. An extraordinary Atlantic history carefully pieced together from the archives, The Story of Rufino illuminates the complexities of slavery and freedom in Africa and Brazil and the resilience of ethnic and religious identities.

Slaves have never been mere passive victims of slavery. Typically, they have responded with ingenuity to their violent separation from their native societies, using a variety of strategies to create new social networks and cultures. Religion has been a major arena for such slave cultural strategies. Through participation in religious and ritual activities, slaves have generated important elements of identity, shared humanity, and even resistance, within their lives. This volume presents papers from a conference of the University of Nottingham’s Institute for the Study of Slavery – the only UK centre studying its history from antiquity to the present. It breaks new ground by juxtaposing slave strategies within the diverse religious cultures of Graeco-Roman antiquity and modern Brazil. After a wide-ranging historiographical survey, eleven experts examine how in both societies slave religious activities involved both constraints and opportunities, shedding particular new light on the neglected religious strategies of Graeco-Roman slaves.

The fortunes of the late nineteenth century’s imperial and industrial powers depended on a single raw material—rubber—with only one source: the Amazon basin. And so began the scramble for the Amazon—a decades-long conflict that found Britain, France, Belgium, and the United States fighting with and against the new nations of Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil for the forest’s riches. In the midst of this struggle, Euclides da Cunha, engineer, journalist, geographer, political theorist, and one of Brazil’s most celebrated writers, led a survey expedition to the farthest reaches of the river, among the world’s most valuable, dangerous, and little-known landscapes. The Scramble for the Amazon tells the story of da Cunha’s terrifying journey, the unfinished novel born from it, and the global strife that formed the backdrop for both. Haunted by his broken marriage, da Cunha trekked through a beautiful region thrown into chaos by guerrilla warfare, starving migrants, and native slavery. All the while, he worked on his masterpiece, a nationalist synthesis of geography, philosophy, biology, and journalism he named the Lost Paradise. Da Cunha intended his epic to unveil the Amazon’s explorers, spies, natives, and brutal geopolitics, but, as Susanna B. Hecht recounts, he never completed it—his wife’s lover shot him dead upon his return. At once the biography of an extraordinary writer, a masterly chronicle of the social, political, and environmental history of the Amazon, and a superb translation of the remaining pieces of da Cunha’s project, The Scramble for the Amazon is a work of thrilling intellectual ambition.
